The effect of the drug on the physique
Of a person varies somewhat. Some
times he will become dreadfully enact
ated, but if the appetite keeps good he
will not decrease in weight. There is
always, however, a peculiar color about
an opium eaters face, and by that he can
be known; the complexion assumes the
color of old brass, having a peculiar
death like hue, but it is seldom that the
digestion is impaired.
Opium affects the spinal cord and
brain principally. The nerve power Of
the opium eater is very much lessened
without the opium, and it is very much
increased with the drug until the end
comes. The death of the opium eater is
not marked by any particular scenes of
horror. l have seen several opium eaters
die a very pleasant death, and 1 do not
know that l ever saw a very bad death
among such patients.-E. N. Carpenter,
NJ. D., in The Epoch.

The vast number Of readers never
come to the library with the idea Of get
ting any but one book. If that is not
''in, " they are in a quandary, and they
always appeal TO me of the librarians to
'get me something good" Any one
who knows the different tastes in books
can imagine what a task this is, for there
isn't any possible way of telling by a WIS.,
itor's physiognomy what his particular
taste in literature may be. 1t would ap-
pear that most people have no settled plan
of reading. They take up whatever book
happens to fall in their way, and read it.
1t doesn't matter what it is. The more
intelligent patrons keep the call slips, and
have always a special list of books, which
they hand to The librarian, and he can go
through it quietly and determine which
are on hand. A position behind the desk
at the library is one in which there are
splendid opportunities for the study of
human nature.-Library Attendant In
Globe-Democrat.

DON'T

let that cold of yours run on. You think
it is a little thing. But it may run into
catarrh. Or into pneumonia. Or con-
sumption.
Catarrh is disgusting. Pneumonia is
dangerous. Consumption is death itself.
The breathing apparatus must be kept
healthy and clear of all instructions and
offensive matter. Otherwise there is
trouble ahead.
All the diseases OF these parts, head,
nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs,
can be delightfully."- and entirely cured by
the use of Bosrhee's German Syrup. II
you don't know this already, thousands
and thousands of people can tell you.

how it is, themselves" Bottle only rs

Cause of the Indian Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The war de-
partment has been aware for some time
OF threatened trouble at the San Carlos
reservation in Arizona. The trouble an
pears to be similar to that of Colorow,
arising from attempts by territorial off,
GERS to enforce u civil process on the In
dams. In the present case the war de-
partment is informed that a constable
with forty deputies is endeavoring to
serve a process and it is believed at the
department that any attempt to arrest
the Indians will result in a general stam-
pede.
A telegram has been received at the
war department from San Carlos, dated
Sept. %, stating that Mr.. Horton, an
Indian trader, was shot by an Indian
scout who was afterward pursued by
Lieut.. Elliott, Chief of Scouts Porter and
some assistant scout. A scout was also
shot.

1t S,surprising that the public know 80
little about insurance, when more people
are interested in it than in anything else.
There is scarcely a family in the land in
which there is not one or more persons
interested in either life, fire, marine, &C.
cident or live stoSk insurance-in fact,
insurance is something that is Of vital
interest in every household; is more
talked about and more thought of than
anything else. Nevertheless the great
mass of mankind are as ignorant of its
principles as they are of the component
parts of the sun.-Insurance Agent in

The country negroes in South Carolina,
Georgia and portions of Florida have a
very pretty and somewhat poetical super
stition. During the stiffness of the night,
when the gentle swaying pine trees ale
singing their weird requiems, whole fami-
lies will sit about their cabin doors and
listen intently to this music of the forest.
In its changing melody they hear the
voices of dead friends predicting good or
evil for the future or revealing secrets of

Mrs. Ord was fatally burned on Sun.
day by the explosion of a can of coal oil.
She was lighting the fire and was pouring
on the oil from a can when it suddenly
ignited and exploded with a report like
a gun. In a moment she was enveloped
in flames and had it not been for the
presence of mind of those present who
wrapped her in blankets she would have
burned to death in a few moments. AS
it was her hands, face and breast were
terribly burned, from the effects of which

GIuTE ROMANTIC

WASHINGTON, Nov fS.-There is TO
mantle story connected with the grand
! daughter of George Bancroft whose clan
destlne marriage with Charles Carroll, IS
now the talk Of the town. Miss Bancroft S
father, one of the sons of George Bancroft,
was travelling twenty-siX years ago in Eu-
| rope. Down the little town Of Montere jan,
over near the Pyrenees mountains, in
| France, he met a charming little half
French, half Spanish girl, with to family
to speak OF and no patrimOny but her
pretty face and lovely figure. The young
American fell desperately in love with her.
and without consulting his home friends
or family, or for that matter, without
seeking the consent of her parents. He
took her 10 England and married her there.
As result be was disoWneG and bis for
eign wife disowned. A little daughter was
born to the struggling couple across
! the sea- but no word OF benedlctiOn was
sent over the ocean to little Susanne, and
when her father died soon after no relative
was there to stand by his closing grave
Meantime death had not passed by Mr..
Bancroft'S own home untouched, for his
first and his second wife had died, and the
necessities of business life had taken from
his side the other s0ns who had grown up
with him. His home was alOnely one and
with the weight Of his four score years up
on him. He was leaning for love and af-
lection on strangers, while his grandchild
was in France living no one knew how.
Some one who knew the story, an old time
Washington newspaper man, lOunging
through southern France, found the shape
j., beautiful girl with her French grand
mother, her own mother having died a
couple of years before It took long and
diplomatic negotiations to bring the stern
American grandfather to look upon his
sons child, but when he saw her he took
her to his heart and home and she has been
its mistress ever since.

EARN FROM

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Nov. 1S-Mrs. DR.. S.
a. Richmond has received a letter from
her husband who escaped from tho asylum
here Monday night, written on board an
Illinois Central railroad train and post
marked Dubuque, la, in which he gives
the route he took after leaving the asylum,
as follows: ~ went from St. Joseph to
Troy Kan. From there | went to Omaha
on the Missouri Pacific. At Omaha | left
for Chicago over the Chicago and
Northwestern. He states it is his inten-
ton TO go direct to Tuscola, IL, and then
to Carnage, a small town nine miles from
that place, the home Of his brother James.
He asks his wife 10 sstel him -atchel and
500 in money. as his expenses have besn
very high. He says he gave Missouri rs
wide a berth rs possible, hut he wanted all
the papers sent to him Containing the &C
count of his escape, lie also wanted all of
his advertising cuts of his patent medicine
and everything connected with his business
sent to him at Carnage.
Mrs. Richmond will not send him any
thing but his clothing and has given the
letter to the asylum authorities. She de
rives an income Of = 600 q year from the
sale of the patent medicine, and says that
it is DR., RichmOnd's intention to 90 witt
his brother James to Virginia and there
engage in its manufacture. The asylum
authorities will make an attempt 10 cap
ture him. He has not been on good terms
with his wife for some time. and il Is evil
dent that he intends to take away her only
means of support by setting up a rival
establishment. Mrs Richmond refused
to aid him in his escape. and openly
charges that the money was furnished him

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Although the ut
most secrecy has been preserved about the
matter, it leaked out today that Commits
sioner Sparks, evidently smarting over
the demand for his resignation. displayed
very bad temper in the matter Of the pay
rolls OF his Office for the month ending No
vember 18th He has bsen absent from his
office most Of the time since the receipt of
Secretary Lamar'S letters, and Assistant
Commissioner Stochslager has been acting
as commissioner. Accordingly, on the
evening of the 18th Mr. St0cksla ger approx
ed the pay rolls as acting commissioner.
When Commissioner Sparks came 10 the
Office the next day and found the rolls
thuSly approved he few into a violent pas
sion and tore up the rolls. remarl,ing that
he believed he WIS still commissioner of
the general land Office. The consequence
was that the clerks did not get their pay
on the 18th, and may OF them who had
obligations snd debts to meet We're greatly
embarrassed. 1t may be stated in his con
nection that il is the rule for acting bu-
reau officers always to approve pay rolls in
the absence Of their chiefs. and Mr., Stock
slayer had only performed his duty.

Any striking event or piece Of news was
unusually eagerly discussed by the white
troops, and in the ranks military critics
were IS plenty and perhaps more voluble
than among tae officers. Not so with the
blacks; important news, such as that be-
fore Us, after the bare announcement, was
usually followed by long silence. They
sat about in groups ''studying," as
they called it. They waited, Ike the
Cuakers, for the spirit TO move: when the
spirit moved one of their singers would
dplif5 a mighty voice, Ike a bard Of old,
in wild sort of chant. If he did not
strike a sympathetic chord III his hearers,
II they did not find in his Utterance an ex-
ponent of their idea, he would sing it again
and again, altering sometimes the words
or more often the music. If his changes
met general acceptance one voice after
another would chime in: rough harmony
Of three parts would add itself; other
groups would JOIN his, and the song be-
came the song Of the command.

pr0yal escaped their lins or appeared on
their faces. All at once, when his refrain
had siruck The right response IN their
hearts, his group took it up and shortly
